I'm 35 and I'd rather listen to The Who's "Live At Leeds"

[flamingyouth]

But that's just me.:shrug:

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. best live album in the history of recorded music

bar none

[flamingyouth]

6. Yes

I admit to also loving KISS Alive! but I know that was sweetened as is rather fake - Leeds, on the other hand, is just amazing on its own.:hi:

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. I agree, it's raw and cheap and rough

and shows all of The Who at their musical peak. Magic Bus Live is still my all time favorite rock song.

There are some killer live tracks on "The Kids are Alright" too, Young Man Blues, See Me Feel Me, and a bunch of other stuff from Monterey pop festival.

2. I'd rather listen to alot of stuff that's older than me like Bach, Robert

Johnson and Dolly Partton than fucking Chingy, but I'll still defend a genre that I love

[skooooo]

4. ..Interesting, my 15-year old nephew..

...was asking me about Tom Jones last night!!??

I take it as a sign that the music today is just pretty bad.

[AlCzervik]

7. Tom Jones, Tony bennett, Dean Martin

lots a good stuff from the old guys is in now, retro, or lounge music.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. It sure as hell is, for the most part

My parents couldn't understand why at 12 all I listened to was their records because they as ssure as hell didn't listen to THEIR parents' records

[skooooo]

10. He also started talking about Perry Como!!!???

WTF is going on out there??

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. Now I think its time you had a talk with him

that ain't normal!!!

:)

[skooooo]

13. Evidentally the new "I Robot" movie coming out...

...has a pretty eclectic soundtrack. I think that was the context of our conversation. Personally, I'm glad he's so open minded about music. He even likes Bob Dylan and can name several of his "lesser-known" songs.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. Encourage encourage encourage! How about Jimi Hendrix?

Does he dig Jimi?

[tigereye]

21. I was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today

and it was wild to see all the Hendrix pix, clothes ( they were something), rings, videos, guitars, etc.

[skooooo]

23. Oh yeah...Jimi and Carlos Santana...

I guess he's pretty sophisticated musically for a 15 year old. He's coming to visit me, sometime I think -- so I can further indoctrinate him.

BWWAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH

[AlCzervik]

12. Perry Como, that should be dealt with soon.

Perry is so unhip that he's still unhip,a nd oh those sweaters! PU.

[skooooo]

14. I have NEVER listened to Perry....

...I'm afraid to find out how deep the boy has gotten himself.

Please pray for my family.

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. at least he isn't asking about Pat Boone...

yeesh

[AlCzervik]

18. Remember when Pat Boone did a metal album.

what a coos.

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. my brother gave it to me as a gag gift

LOL

it sucks

[flamingyouth]

16. But.... Papa LOVES Mambo!

I heard Mama did too ... I could be wrong...:shrug:

[skooooo]

17. omg...is that Perry? Now I am afraid!!

Maybe I should get him into Leif Garret?

[AlCzervik]

3. Meaty beaty big and bouncy was my first Who album

love em still. I listen top all kinds of stuff but rap and punk and alternatives are my mainstay.

[NightTrain]

5. You'd rather listen to "Live at Leeds" than do what???

How's about some context? :hi:

[Wilber_Stool]

20. Funny you should mention that.

At this very moment, I'm watching "Live at the Ile of Wight" on DVD. Not exactly a technical triumph, but great music. No flashing lights, no explosions, just industrial strength R&R.

[wtmusic]

24. Live at Leeds is one of the rare live albums

that was worth making. You could never do "Summertime Blues" like that in the studio.

The studio version of "My Generation" doesn't even come close.
